A gift of the fish of knowledge
A host of food writers have endorsed the organic smoked salmon produced by Declan and Aoife Droney at Kinvara Smoked Salmon, who not only sell the product in their shop in Kinvara, but also by mail order. The smoked salmon is smoked the traditional way, which is that the fillets are cured under a layer of natural sea salt. Then the salt is washed off and the fillets are placed in a kiln for five hours before the smoking begins. It is a mixture of oak and beech wood shavings that are used to produce the smoke which circulates around the fish - and this was a surprise - for a further seven hours. Declan and Aoife now supplies his organic smoked salmon to about 50 organic shops in the London area, we are told, and other well-known shops. It's an ideal corporate gift.

Corporate gifts -- make them work to your advantage
BY MAGDALENA SZULC Corporate gifts are generally known as anything given out by a company for free; the company's name and logo might be attached to it, but it is optional. Corporate gifts can work to help any company, however they are often associated with larger companies with a high number of employees. Although corporate gifts can be used interchangeably with promotional items, the latter describes smaller value items of this type. Many smaller companies cannot afford to give out many expensive gifts, but even items of smaller value can work for you and bring you customers. A good way to use corporate gifts is to give them to customers you have already been doing business with. It will guarantee they will come back to you before they choose to go for someone else. It's like with anything else; you are always more likely to go back to someone who has already given something to you than someone who hasn't. Another way to use corporate gifts is to distribute them at trade shows or exhibitions of all kinds. In that case, as there will probably be many people to deal with, you might want to go for items of smaller value, like pens, key chains, or pads of paper.
